  • PROTECT GREEN PUBLIC OPEN SPACES, HORLEY, SURREY
    These 2 pieces of green situated between Landen Park and Arne Grove in Horley, Surrey, were designated as 'PUBLIC OPEN SPACES' when the housing estate was designed and built in the early 1970s. These green spaces are used and enjoyed every day by residents of all ages for activities such as walking, dog walking, cycling and playing. They have also been used for community celebrations such as for the Queen's Jubilees. The green areas provide a vital habitat for local wildlife including birds and bats. The space creates a visual break for residents, and these areas have been an important factor in many residents' decision to move into the estate over the last 40 plus years. This land is now being threatened with development. As residents we are already being impacted by the huge development to the north-west of us at the Westvale Park site. Building on these areas would bring even more traffic to two already crowded cul-de-sacs, creating risks for local children who play and walk these streets. For the health, well-being and sustainability of community and family life, and for the protection of local wildlife, we must protect these precious green spaces.

  • No election until tory election expenses reports published
    It is inconceivable that we have a new election while there are serious questions to be answered about the last one, which could have an effect on this government's majority, and the outcome of a new election. It is reported that there are twenty-nine Conservative party seats which are being investigated for exceeding spending limits, which could result in bye elections in those seats, and which therefore could remove the government's majority. It is clearly absurd to have a government which might not be valid to call another election to justify their possibly invalid previous election. The public deserves to know what actually happened in the last election and it is likely that some, if not many, people would vote differently if they knew that the governing party had acted illegally in the last election. We cannot have another election while the result of the previous one is still open to question, with the possible result that the government has no majority, no mandate and no authority to call another election.

  • We want Leaders debates on TV
    Prime Minister Mrs. May announced snap elections in an abrupt way to be held on 8th June 2017. We heard that there will be no leadership debates on this occasion. We have leadership debates in recent years and why not this time. We are passing through a transitional period and our country is facing very serious challenges, we the voters want to listen how our next Prime Minister will deal with the issues of Brixit, making deal with EU, how to protect our economy and interests of the working class. If PM has a concrete agenda to address all these issues, she shouldn't hesitate to participate in live TV debates. Voters have a right to listen their leaders and ask them questions.

  • Stop zero hours contracts in the NHS
    A lot has been said about the abuses of zero-hour contracts in the private sector but did you know that the NHS also uses them? The consequences are the same for hard-working employees doing vital jobs in our health service as they are for workers in shops and factories: Uncertainty from week to week around hours, income, shift patterns with an inability to plan holidays and time-off. It is very hard for staff in these positions to decline shifts, however unreasonable the timing, let alone complain as they risk the management regarding them as troublemakers. Bill* is a porter for an NHS trust working a zero-hour contract. He never knows more than a week in advance what his hours will be. When in work he often does 12 hour night shifts moving patients, sometimes when critically ill, to and from theatres, X-ray or even the morgue. He applied to have a week off 3 months in advance and was told to come back nearer the time, then when he did so he was told that he had been rostered for that week and had to take unpaid leave. Gordon* is another porter who, after 10 consecutive days of night shifts was required to take holiday to have a 2 day break. Eric* would like to visit his girlfriend's family overseas but cannot book a budget flight in advance as he is unable to be confident that he will get time off. Pete* missed a family wedding in a different part of the country when he was given only the day itself off and could not fit in the necessary travelling time. Without a guaranteed weekly income people on zero-hours contracts do not know how many hours they will be asked to work in a week which can result in periods with very low income making it difficult to support a family. Another problem that I am aware of is people being called in for very short shifts that can be as short as 2 hours – despite incurring the same travelling costs and time as a full shift. Some valuable and important workers in the NHS are employed on zero-hours contracts, porters for example, and that this can continue for multiple years. Although these roles are not glamorous they are essential for the efficient running of hospitals. Please sign my petition to speak up for these vital but exploited workers in the NHS. This should be a national policy covering all hospitals.

  • Make May appear in GE TV Debates
    On April 18 Theresa May called for a General Election on June 8 in order to strengthen her Party's position in Parliament, going against the Fixed Term Parliament Act. However, in a bid to avoid scrutiny, she has ruled out appearing in any TV debates, robbing the public of further democratic debate

  • Say no to Foie Gras at the Bridge Inn Calver, Derbyshire
    The production of foie gras is nothing short of barbaric. It is illegal to produce it in the UK and in 12 other countries globally. The owners of this pub are importing it and selling it. Foie gras has no place in a civilised society.

  • Drop the voting age to 16 in the upcoming general election
    This is important because our future will be heavily impacted on the outcome of this election and I believe that those 16 and over who want to vote should be able to have a say.

  • Make All Food Packing Eco-Friendly
    This is important to me and the future of the planet because all the plastic packaging that is used is currently buried in a landfill or chucked on the side of a rood. This happened to me once driving to meet my cousins with my Nan there was lots of bags of rubbish thrown into some laybys. But that could all change if we use cardboard.
